    Hey Ryan,
    Sometimes when I sell cards on ebay I will email people who have bought similar stuff previously to let them know I have more up for sale. Technically I guess it's spamming, but if it's correctly targeted I don't think people will mind. For example I just listed a new batch of 91 Topps Desert Shieldf cards and I let the people know who bid on more than one from my last batch. I'll let you know if I hear from ebay.

    Listing your mantle card for sale on four different forums is probably considered spamming......

    point well taken....sorry for the previous outburst.

    my thoughts were simply...being a long time board member things are best shared with friends...IF i had made an account to simply ADVERTISE....i indeed should be frowned on. The fact that I am known here I felt that I could post without problem my new auction. It got great comments on the sports talk board...apprently it was not as well taken on these boards. I apologize.

    I get contacted all the time by people trying to sell me cards from the set that I am building.I wouldn't worry too much and just do it.If the guy you are trying to contact is selling anything,put in a bid on any of his auctions and then use the "contact the seller" feature.I have done that before.

    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    I apologize for my outburst..I too must heed my own advice and not take the comments on these boards personal...I am sorry for my comment and will erase it.
